This guy has been sitting in the fridge for two solid weeks. poured into pom stange

A - bottle pours this great faux-nitro tap kind of cascade effect. body is a dark brown, opaque and very turbid, while the head of two fingers is a light beige or tan colour. head is quite creamy and retains very well. this is probably the best looking of the stick series; truly amazing is how the head retains for so long.

S - aroma is a fruity, sugary, malty mix of delight. the sweetness in the nose is most evident, having two distinct types: brown sugar with slight caramel, sort of a malty sweetness, and the seoncd type of sweetness is fruity. the middle of the nose is a mixture of malts and yeast. smells perfectly amazing. I can barely hold myself from drinking it.

T - quite a good beer indeed! tastes are like a bock mixed with some sort of belgian. the initial taste is sweet, mainly a malty kind of sweetness, some fruitiness bur more of a burnt sugar taste, and a slight hoppy bitterness and alcohol warmth. the finish is much more hoppy, quite the burst of herbal bitterness; alcohol also finishes semi-dry on the palate. the aftertaste is much hoppier than the initial, but is blended with alcohol dryness so well one would think the beer an english ale.

MF&D - feel is a medium heavy body with an amazing creaminess. carbonation is perfect, just enough to make the beer incredibly drinkable. the only thing affecting the drinkability is the presence of the alcohol, but it is still a rock solid amazing brew.

This beer pours a chenut brown with a slight reddish hue with a tight one finger head,awesome aromas going one very nutty with huge molasses and vanilla tones.This brew exudes complexities even more as it warms,very doughy with molasses and with an underlying nuttiness finishing with a nice herbal/spiciness that rounds it out nicely.A big complex gem here with alot going on flavor wise,glad I got a chance to try it.

Wow. Right from the start, even the bottle is classy. When releasing the lid, I'm met with a crisp and satisfying psfth. It pours a dark caramel brown with a light and lacy head. The aroma is the best part of the beer, hands down. Smell after you pour, before you sip, during your sip, after your sip. Caramel, brown sugar, dark fruit, all sewn together with a boozy thread that ties the whole scent together. Wow.

Smooth and creamy mouthfeel. Sweet caramel malts at the front of the tongue, great flavor throughout and even a nice lingering bitterness. Not dry and not cloyingly sweet. Right in between. Even with the high ABV, the alcohol stays in the background, lending complexity, but not overwhelming the beautiful sweetness.

Really impressed with this beer. I'll be buying another to store in the beer cellar. Bet this will mellow nicely if rested for a few years.

Swing-top bottle pours a hazy, dark chestnut brown body with a small beige head that leaves some sticky, island chain lace.

Aroma is toffee and caramel, with a hint of chocolate and some spicy hops.

Medium body with a creamy carbonation.

Very tasty. A deep maltiness is evidenced by waves of toffee and caramel and a hint of chocolate. Some nuttiness and dark fruits add complexity. Spicy hops and a hint of dark roasty malts add a balancing bitterness.

classy flip top 11.2 ounce bottle (Bottled on 4-18, noted on the upper label), pours reddish coppery amber, soft and creamy off white head, leaves some scattered, fine stringy lacing. Spicy, alcohol, astringent nose. Clean, strong, flavorful brew, nutty, malty,rum soaked, crisp and tasty. simply one of the best brews out there, seek it out and enjoy this delicacy. World class sipper/night capper, would be great with some nuts cheese, dried fruits, you get the idea...

The beer a hazy brown color with a tan head. The aroma is a ton of caramel malt with some chocolate and earthy hops mixed in. The flavor is similar. I get caramel malt, earth and dirty hops, chocolate malt and smoke. The alcohol is fairly noticeable and the bitterness from the hops is low. Medium mouthfeel and medium carbonation. Glad I got to try this one.

Bottled on 06/03 which means this is 8 years old. Dark mahogany color, creamy head. Sweet smell of malts, supposedly this is an Altbier but it smells like a Dopplebock. Taste is great and exceptional, fruits maybe raisins. Nice caramel malts and a great sweet brew. Outstanding.

Poured from 12oz fliptop bottle to perfect pint glass. Poured a hazy, slightly reddish brown with a small tan head. It isn't the prettiest looking beer, but everything else about it makes up for this.

The aroma is intense: big malt aroma with ripe banana, backed up by spicy hops.

The flavor starts with that big maltiness, ripe fruits: banana, raisin, some toffee. There is a spiciness from the hops and warming alcohol. The alcohol and lively carbonation provides a needed drier finish to what could be a sweet beer.

Like I said the carbonation is lively, which balances the malt well and works perfectly with the alcohol. The malt provides this silky feel that stays interesting toward the back of the tongue.

Overall an expertly crafted beer that traveled to the States well. I wish the bottle, which will be perfect for future use in homebrewing, was larger because one pint might not be enough.

I absolutely love the regular Uerige Sticke Alt and when I saw this Doppelsticke I didn't think twice about picking a bottle up.

It pours a very dark brown with a thick, silky and creamy head. The aromas are fresh, green hops, almost like pine needles and buffered by smooth caramel mocha and hazelnut malts. There is a hint of a steely minerality on the nose as well which adds complexity in a good way.

The mineral aspect comes through in the mouthfeel as well, with a crisp dryness and soothing dark malts coating my taste buds. It is fresh and complex with a bite of bitterness on the midpalate, which gives way to a long and smooth dark chocolate, dried figs and hazelnut finish. There is some warmth from the alcohol but for this beer it is entirely appropriate.

All in all a very well-balanced beer with complex and refined notes and lots of drinkability. I am again highly impressed with another great beer from Uerige.

The only other version of this brew I've tasted has been Victory 10 anniversary so here it goes...appears a slight clouded amber dark copper with a light cream colored head leaves fine even lacing down my glass. Aroma contains complex tart raisin/citrus, anise fruity alcohol presence as well. Taste...alcohol is evident a little hot indeed nice spicy herbal content toasted nut caramel complex fruity notes alcoholic plum raisin mix very good stuff. Mouthfeel is medium bodied slight syrupy texture higher carbonation does tickle the throat light burn on the palate. Drinkability one to savor quite a rare offering that I have only seen on a few occasions, quality but not something I would crave over and over again.

Pours a dark amber color with lighter amber highlights and a one-finger off-white head that sticks around for a while. The head eventually dissipates into a thin layer on top leaving solid lacing.

Smells of robust caramel malts with good amounts of medium to dark fruit aromas, figs and plums mostly.

Tastes similar to how it smells. I was surprised by how fruity this beer was. That's not to say it's overly fruity, just more so than I was expecting given the style. Caramel malt flavors with a characteristic altbier bite serve as a sturdy backbone. Ending is solidly bitter.

Mouthfeel is very nice. It has a nice thickness with grainy carbonation.

Drinkability is good. I didn't have a problem finishing my glass and could have a few more.

Overall this was an interesting take on an altbier, though I understand it was a bit beefed up for the American market. Regardless, it's well worth a shot.

Pours a dark auburn/brown, topping off with a nice finger and half of head. As the foam dissipates a good amount of sticky lacing is left behind. The nose is a nice blend of sweet malt, dried fruit, toffee.The taste is very similar to the nose, sweet dark malts, raisin & prune. There is also enough hoppy bitterness to balance out the sweetness wonderfully. Very pleasing to drink, the malty sweetness doesn't leave your mouth coated, just enough carbonation to keep the tongue happy.

This is a beautiful Alt. This is a huge beer, that hides its size wonderfully. It balance between the dark and sweet malt flavors and the hoppy undertones marry perfectly. This is a wonderful sipper, that I would buy again without hesitation.

This poured to a deep and dark brown and red color with a small head that lasted well. It's leaving some moderate lace.

The smell is strong, with tons of malt, caramel, some nuts, and a bit of alcohol. The taste is very good. It starts with dark toffee and malt, then adds caramel and some dark fruit. Alcohol and some degree of bitterness take over the finish. The mouthfeel is solid and the drinkability is good.
